CuARLEsroa. W. Va, May G.-Now tha
the Senatorial election Is out OF the road
the legislative sessions are exceedingly
dull. About all the talk 80 far is Of Judge
Faulkners election. 1t was a surprise te
nearly everybody. One or two prominen,
gentlemen predicted on Wednesday even
Ing that Faulkner would be elected, but
the idea was laughed at by nearly every.
body else, though 1t was generally admit.
ted that II anybody was elected It would
be Faulkner. Mr.. Sommefville had many
warm friends and supporters among the
caucus Democrats, but he was too closely
identified with Mr.. Camden's campaign,
and was too bitter and uncompromisinp
in that campaign, to leave any hope OF bis
winning support from the Kickers. As 1t
now ia, with oil tho professiona Of har.
mony and satiefaction over the result, a
good deal Of bitterness rankles In the
breasts Of both Camden's supporters and
his opponenta-the former because the
nominee Of the majority was defeated,
and the latter because Mr.. Oamden'e
choice, and man who had openly en-.
dorsed Mr.. Camden, was elected.
hitter FEELING LEFT.
This bitterness will be hid. One proof
Of it ia on the record, however, in the
shape Of Mr.. Gleason's voto Tor Mr.. Whit.
tsker. Mr.. Gleason was one OF the firnest
In his support OF Mr.. Camden, and he
threatened when there was talk OF taking
down Mr.. Camden's name that il this was
done he would vote for Republican, and
he kept his word. The last two Rspuoli-
cans to change to Faulkner were Senator
O1ley and Mr. Spencer. Both did go very
reluctantly and only as sacrifice to
"psrty harmony" General Psice, when
he changed to Faulkner, said he did 1t
much against his will.
Another thing which has caused curses,
not loud, but deep, to-day, was tho prompt.
ness with which certain politicians and
benedciaries Of Mr.. Csmden's official
courge, rushed into tho breach and urged
his last devoted followers to desert him
for Faulkner. 1t took good deal Of this
kind OF urRing to induce some Of them to
change, and after the thing wa, done
they showed some disposition to resent
what they called the oHiciousness OF this
volunteer lobby.
HOPING AGAINST HOPE.
The fact is that tho election OF Mr..
Faulkner was an accident. Certain OF
Mr.. Camdsn's friends had hope of his
election up to the moment when Gus
Keller, Of Wood county, gave the iorty.
fifth vote 10 Faulkner. The nomination
Of q new man was intended as diversion
in Camden's favor, and it WAS thought
that by makiEg show Of electing Senator
Sommerv!lle some new support could be
scared over to Camden, when his forty
three were to come back. But the
thir:y.eight Democrats could no. be
held to this line of action. Some OF them
could not be taken into the confidence OF
the planners for various reasons, and 30
the scheme fell through. Mr.. Camden
was honest in his withdrawal and accepts
defeat gracefully. Not go with the larger
number Of his personal followers, and
predict rsprisals and revenge when the
time comes. The bitterness is not even
smou!dering. Many Democrats threaten
freely, and curse openly.
THE GOVERNORS APPOINTMENTS.
Governor Wilson has bad luck with his
appointments. The Senate, in rejecting
the three names sent in yesterday as
Asylum Directors, accompanied the an
nouncemon: Of this action with a
meaty message, giving its REASONS for
these and other retuaala to confirm. The
Governor was informed in no uncertain
way that the Senate was of tho opinion
that there ought to be a prompt and COM
plete change in the executive staff at the
Weston Hospital, and that it did not be.
lieve from the names submitted that Gov
ernor Wilson intended to have such a
change made, and the Senate did not pro.
pose to be made the instrument or accom-.
